Alliance Finance Company PLC (AFC), Sri Lanka’s oldest non-banking financial institution, proudly emerged among the top companies at the Best Management Practices Company (BMPC) Awards 2025 held recently, demonstrating its commitment to innovation, sustainable growth, and customer-centric practices.

AFC was honoured with two prestigious accolades at the Best Management Practices Awards 2025, organized by the Institute of Chartered Professional Managers of Sri Lanka (CPM). The company was ranked among the Top 20 Best Managed Companies in Sri Lanka, a recognition of its holistic and forward-thinking leadership, operational excellence, and commitment to sustainable growth. In addition, AFC received a Category Award for Management Innovation, reflecting the company’s ability to drive impactful business results through strategic, customer-centric practices. These awards reaffirm AFC’s position as a pioneer in the financial services sector, consistently delivering excellence while aligning with global sustainability and governance standards.

With a legacy of over 68 years, AFC has long been recognized for its value-driven approach to finance, underpinned by the triple bottom line philosophy of People, Planet, and Profit. At the BMPC Awards, the company’s landmark ESG integration across all operations was recognized as a benchmark for sustainable finance in the industry. By aligning its business with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, AFC has not only delivered consistent financial performance but also driven transformative impact in rural economic inclusion, climate-friendly mobility solutions, and female empowerment.

The Company’s High Impact Goals (HIGs)—strategically crafted to embed ESG principles across its value chain—have translated into notable results. With over 69% of lending directed outside the Western Province, AFC’s funding now serves underbanked and rural communities, extending access to affordable, sustainable finance. The growth in vehicle financing, gold-backed credit, and micro-entrepreneur lending reflects the success of this inclusive and sustainable approach.

These accolades reaffirm Alliance Finance Company’s pioneering role in Sri Lanka’s financial services landscape. From launching the country’s first Green Bond in the non-banking sector to embedding ESG into its core strategy, AFC continues to shape the future of responsible finance in Sri Lanka—earning recognition, trust, and loyalty from stakeholders across the nation.
